The TK class finished making their Love Monsters today! It took a lot of time and perseverance to do all of the sewing, but they did it. I think they turned out great!!

Clearing Up the Confusion: Understanding School Funding I’ve seen some questions and concerns circulating about school funding, particularly around PPEL, voted PPEL, and the income surtax. I truly believe that those sharing this information are doing so with good intentions, but school finance can be complex, and sometimes key details get lost in the mix. To ensure our community has accurate information, I want to share a message from our financial advisor that breaks down these funding sources and how they impact our district. My goal is to provide clarity, not to discredit anyone—because when we all have the right information, we can make informed decisions together. Check out the explanation below, and as always, feel free to reach out with any questions! We will also be having a couple of informational meetings in the next week: Friday, February 21st at 5:30 in the JH/HS Library Monday, February 24th at 5:30 in the JH/HS Library Monday, February 24th at 7:00 at the Gladbrook Theater As always, if there are any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out!

The junior high student council is hosting a movie night. We hope to see all junior high students there!
